Located in beautiful countryside just a few minutes’ drive from the small market town of Massa Martana.
Torretta Martana is a fully restored home, architecturally interesting and immaculately presented. There are fabulous views from the property across rolling hills to Todi, one of the jewels of Umbria.

Constructed in a traditional manner in stone under pan tiled roof, the house offers comfortable living accommodation combining ancient and modern features.

The entrance hall has been created by converting the huge old bread oven and leaving the stunning ‘bee-hive’ vaulted ceiling. This room is the base of the tower section of the house. Access from here leads directly in to the large and extremely light sitting room, a feature of which is the glass roof that affords an interesting view of the tower. There is an open fireplace and direct access to the external covered terrace, an ideal spot for “al fresco” living. The modern and functional kitchen/dining room is directly adjacent to the sitting room and also benefits from direct access to the gardens.
Towards the rear of the house, and still on the ground floor, there are three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities and a large family bathroom. (One of these bedrooms is currently used as a studio).

Stairs to the first floor lead to an anteroom off which is the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and access to the two small rooms in the tower. There is enough space in the tower rooms for ‘temporary’ sleeping space, but they are not practical as permanent accommodation. They do though add to the quirky architectural feeling of the house.

The property has been restored in a sensitive manner and throughout traditional materials have been used. In places the original ancient wooden ceilings have been incorporated.

The house is surrounded by a well-stocked garden which includes decorative flower and herb beds and numerous fruit trees. On a lower landscaped terrace is the impressive infinity swimming pool. The total amount of land, which is fenced, extends to over 1.75 hectares includes some 500 producing olives and some undisturbed woodland.

Access is by way of a well maintained white road. Massa Martana, the closest town is approximately 1.6kms distant where all facilities can be found.
